True. I keep forgeting how Woody plays his roster. If thats the case, i think we do well with either guard as a 3rd option

Didnt Beno lose his starting-job on the Kings to rookie Isiiah Thomas?

Any 3rd tier PG would do well in Woodson's chucker-system of walking the ball upcourt for ISO-ISO Melo.
Our PG duties has one easy task on offense "Pass the ball to Melo" ....

The way Shumpert played PG in the summer league was exactly, bring the ball up and pass it off to (Melo) on the high post or wing then head to the corner, very boring and predictable with no change, just the same repetitious and boring offensive sets.

Here's a note to remember ......
Lastseason we started the 2012-13 season off with a 18-5 run, and during that run PG-Raymond Felton average close to 20 pts, and 8 ast, taking 16 FGA per game. That was put to an immediate STOP! WHY? bcause Felton was our 2nd option on offense during the 18-5 run. Which made JR.smith a 3rd to 4th option depending on a hot Tyson or Novak.
The Knicks medical staff came into the picture stating, "Felton will b out for 4 to 6 weeks with a fracture-pinky finger" LMAO
When Felton return from the so-call fracture pinky-finger injury LMAO, Felton never took over 6 shots per game, averaging 4 to 5 assist bringing the ball up to only pass to Melo or JR.
What happen to making 7.1 Tyson Chandler the center of attention on offense? bring the ball up for a give n go with Tyson receiving the ball at the foul line? It worked so well with Lin-Sanity, that the Indiana Pacers ran that move with 7.2 Roy Hibbert consistently throughout the 2012-13 season, because of the season injury to their star-player Granger.

This is another not flashy signing, but it could end up being huge for us. Our third point guard is often our backup point guard when Coach Woodson decides to play Felton and Priggs together. If Udrih can be solid for us, it gives us so much more versatility than we would otherwise have with our lineups.

Well, now we've got 2 of the 3, not sure who's going to get that last spot though. Grunwald has quietly given us depth with upside without any damage to our ability to clear salaries in two years. Not too shabby.

Update!! Beano will sign with knicks for 1-year vets minimum

Updating a previous item, Beno Udrih will sign a one-year deal at the veteran minimum with the Knicks.

It's a solid pickup for the Knicks and they have been able to maximum their dollars and exceptions with players like Udrih and Metta World Peace at relatively cheap deals. Udrih will backup Raymond Felton and will have to battle Pablo Prigioni for minutes. Prigioni was a key part of the Knicks' 13-game winning streak last year, so the 31-year-old Udrih has his work cut out for him.

For the restrictions we had this summer I think Mgmt did a good job with the re-signings as well as the vet min. signings. Bravo front office. Now if we can only make sure the Andreas B trade is not a bust!
